One if not the chief objections to
life on the farm is the want Of the
ordinary conveniences attainabls in
the towns and cities. AS en- Gu
enlargement to people to engage 10
agricultural pursuits upon which
after all the food supply of . civilized
people must depend, it would seem
wise to exempt all improvements up.
on farms that do not directly tend
to increase their agricultural OF com.
mercial value. The exemption o.
improvements upon the dwelling
houses and surrounding, which sim.
ply add to the personal comfort aud
crafty the taste Of the residents,
will induce the farming population
to beautify and improve their homes
and not only make life on the farm
more desirable, but it's effect on the
whole population beneficial. All
thoughtful people realize that the
purity and the perpetuity Of tie Re-
public are not 50 much in the hands
of the merchant princes and million
aire operators of the cities, as they
are in the hands of the millions OF
farmers scattered over the bills and
valleys of the country. 1t would be
well to consider that in addition to
the traffic which commerce gets from
the tillers ofsoil, agriculture pursuits
pay to society and to the State III
this higher and better coin, ofwhich
the world has ever had too little. An
enlightened system oftaxation would
encourage and protect, rather than
discriminate against the farming IN
terests.

DOGS AND WOOL TARIFF,

Until sheep raisers see to il th..

Tor them protection against shear
killing dogs, how can they claim

sheep-raising should pay those wbo
are engaged IN it. As protective
measure the United States sbOOla
grow their own wool of every grado

but fair that the laws should do

sheep profitably. When we shan
have done this aud failed to makA
sheep raising profitable, the govern.
ment should and will make special
laws, if necessary, more than ever
before, to foster the industry in the
nation. But as long as dogs are al.
lowed to be legalized destroyes Of
sheep to the frightful amount Of
hundreds of thousands of dollars
every year, we ought not to claim a
higher tariff protection. Not alone
are these sheep annually killed by
dogs, but millions of dollars are be.
ing hindered from investing in
sheep and lands suited to sheep rails.
ing. In the South are to-day mil.
lions Of acres unowned and unused
by any productive industry, with no
other hindrance than the dogs. The
South has climate, soil and natural
feed prominently adapted to sheep
husbandry. Unlike the arid plains
of the vast West Of our country, the
flock master can raise his own sus.
tenance and enjoy a home with
fruits, vegetables, etc, at his door.
This dog nuisance is not confined
alone to the South. In Illinois,

The intelligent, cultured citizen, as
we'll as the ignorant and worthless
are unreasonable and persistent in
owning and defending the liberties
of their dogs.
1t is the duty of sheepmen to see
that their representatives in the
State legislatures enact such laws as
shall encourage sheep husbandry in
every possible manner, In the North.
ern States named are an intelligent
class of people that we would natur-
ally expect could control THE very
serious hindrance. If dog should
kill hogs or calves, or even a goose,
he would not be allowed to live.

o, heart, why beat against the bars
OF stern fatality Why try again
To open wounds that now are scars,
And l feel anew the parting, and the
pain
Alas 1 ever must, for still see
The happiness that is, but not for me.
see the tender smile, and trusting eyes,
The slender form endowed with every
grace,
The look of loving welcome and surprise ;
Yes, every well-known gesture can
trace,
But know that welcome, and that smile,
to be
Another S now, and nevermore for me.
There, too, the sunny face, SO purely fair,
Its innocence seems most of heaven;
And in the halo of the shining hair,
A glory as toangels given.
All best beloved, it will ever be
My guiding star, though you are not for

NO GREAT CHINESE WALL.

Able Larrieu, a missionary in
China, has published pamphlet on
the great wall of China, to demon
strate that this structure does not
exist and has never existed. The
popular belief is that this wall
stretches for about 500 leagues across
China, from the sea to the province
of Kan Su; that it is wholly con-
structed of cut stone, and thirty
cubits high by twelve broad. It is
believed 10 run straight on, regard.
less of obstacles, going down valleys
and up mountains, without break,
except such as time has made, along
its whole course. Mr.. Larrieu has
lived for several years under what
would have been the shadow of the
great wall had there been one; he
has studied the writings of recent
writers who have crossed the line OF
the alleged wall in various places ;
ne has likewise studied the Chinese
history of the subject, and his con.
illusions are a Chinese Emperor un.
doubtedIy did conceive the idea of a
great wall from the Gulf of Limo.
Long on the east coast to Kan-Su on
the west, but this was never realiz.
ed. The only part of the scheme OF
the great wall carried out was the
construction of scattered towers
the rest never went beyond the
brain that conceived it; it was never
